Once you have chosen your Charlotte's Web ring you will need to find the perfect fit. Should you not find the ring size you need, we offer a bespoke custom size service – please contact us for more info.
Please watch our video guide below for the best ways to measure your finger.
Purchase a ring sizer gauge HERE, or you can measure your finger in 2 different ways, simply follow the instructions below.
Download and print our size guide for existing rings HERE
The easiest way, to do this is if you have a ring which already fits the same finger. Download our printable size guide above and place your ring on them, you'll need to close one eye to get a really accurate size. For a normal narrow ring, all of the lighter colour should fill the inside edge. For our wider rings, then all of the circle, including the darker border needs to fill the inside edge. You can also use a ruler to measure across the inside edge of the ring in millimetres.
Useful tip: Always measure your finger at room temperature. If it's too cold your finger will be smaller; if it's too hot your finger will be larger.
Use a measuring tape no wider than (2cm), or you can print out our ring sizer above to wrap around your finger. Do not use a piece of string or thread as this will follow your finger too closely and record an incorrect size. Wrap the measuring tape around your finger, making sure it slides easily over the knuckle. Using a pen, mark the tape at the point where it overlaps. Now measure the length in millimetres from the start of the tape to the pen mark.
Please note that all sizes are approximate due to the handmade nature of the majority of our rings The very best way to get an accurate measurement of your ring size is by visiting a jeweller and getting them to size your finger Please bear in mind that many of our rings (spinning rings in particular) are wide in design, and therefore may come up a little larger than standard sizes.

University of Wisconsin-Madison professor Madeline Fisher, an expert on the psychology of nutrition, recently wrote an interesting piece that connects the media's portrayal of women's body image with eating disorders. We excerpt the piece below.
* * *
As France's parliament considers a landmark bill that would outlaw media images glamorizing the extremely thin, psychology researchers are reporting some of the most definitive findings yet on how these images affect women.
In the May issue of Psychological Bulletin, University of Wisconsin-Madison postdoctoral researcher Shelly Grabe and psychology professor Janet Hyde describe a sweeping analysis of 77 previous studies involving more than 15,000 subjects. In it, they found that exposure to media depicting ultra-thin actresses and models significantly increased women's concerns about their bodies, including how dissatisfied they felt and their likelihood of engaging in unhealthy eating behaviors, such as excessive dieting.
Although on one level the results seem obvious, Grabe believes many people still resist the idea that a societal influence, like the media, can have a real impact on how women view themselves. When individual experiments have found this relationship in the past, she explains, critics have often dismissed them for focusing on groups of particularly body-conscious women, such as college students, or exposing test subjects to unusually racy photos.
Grabe and Hyde, in contrast, analyzed data from every well-designed study on the topic they could find, thus avoiding much of this criticism.
"We've demonstrated that it doesn't matter what the exposure is, whether it's general TV watching in the evening, or magazines, or ads showing on a computer," says Grabe. "If the image is appearance-focused and sends a clear message about a woman's body as an object, then it's going to affect women."
The effect also appears to be growing. The researchers' analysis reveals that, on average, studies conducted in the 2000s show a larger influence of the media on women's body image than do those from the 1990s, says Grabe.
"This suggests that despite all our efforts to teach women and girls to be savvy about the media and have healthy body practices, the media's effect on how much they internalize the thin ideal is getting stronger," she says.
The results are troubling because recent research has established body dissatisfaction as a major risk factor for low self-esteem, depression, obesity, and eating disorders, such as bulimia. At the same time, women's displeasure with their bodies has become so common that it's now considered normal, says Grabe. She hopes that wider recognition of the media's role will encourage people to see the issue as a societal one, rather than as a problem of individual women as it's viewed now.
* * *
So, what's the answer? The French government may try to control the media, but don't women also need to learn to be a little less concerned with their looks?
Grabe replies that the issue lies not with our attraction to images of beauty or with women's desire to emulate them, but with what we've come to define as beautiful: bodies that are unnaturally and unhealthily thin.
"I want to stress that it's totally normal for women to want to be attractive," says Grabe. "But what's happening in our society is that many women are striving toward something that's not very realistic or obtainable, and that leads to a lot of health consequences.

10 Discussion Questions for Reading Groups
About Deborah Garrison's The Second Child: Poems
This reading group was not authorized by the author, publisher, or agent for the book. This guide is copyrighted by Janice Harayda, and its sale or reproduction is illegal except by public libraries that many reproduce it for use in their in-house reading groups. Reading groups that wish to use this guide should send links to members or use the "Contact" page on One-Minute Book Reviews to learn how to request permission to reproduce it.
Deborah Garrison's The Second Child is a collection of 33 poems about the intersection of work and motherhood in an age of large and small anxieties – from fears of another terrorist attack to regrets about missed chances to be playground monitor. A former senior editor of the New Yorker, Garrison is an editor at Alfred A. Knopf and Pantheon books. She also wrote A Working Girl Can't Win: And Other Poems (Random House, 1998).
Questions For Reading Groups about The Second Child
1) The title poem in a collection often expresses a theme or the prevailing mood of a book. Is this true in The Second Child? What ideas in the poem "The Second Child" recur in different forms in other poems in the collection?
2) One of the strongest poems in this book, "September Poem," deals with the events of Sept. 11, 2001. After the attacks, Garrison decides to have another child. But she says didn't do that for the obvious reason that when people die " … we want, crudely pining,/ To replace them with more people." Why did she have another child? How does this poem differ from other things you've read about Sept. 11? What does this poem show you that newspaper and other reports didn't?
3) The dust jacket of The Second Child calls the book "a meditation on the extraordinariness resident in the everyday – nursing babies, missing the past, knowing when to lead a child and knowing when to let go." What are some poems in which Garrison shows the extraordinary in the ordinary? What details illustrate that quality?
4) David Orr said that what's known as "the New Yorker poem" consists "basically of an epiphany-centered lyric." ["Annals of Poetry, The New York Times Book Review, March 11, 2007, p. 31.) Seven poems in The Second Child appeared first in the New Yorker. Do those poems fit that definition? Which poems involve an epiphany?
5) Some poems in The Second Child, such as "A Drink in the Night," resemble anecdotes in verse. How does Garrison turn these into something more than cute the stories about children that you might find in a women's magazine? In "A Drink in the Night," does she use the invented "cup" as a metaphor for something else? What?
6) One of Garrison's more unusual poems is "Sestina for the Working Mother." A sestina is a fixed verse form in which six end-words recur in a set order in six stanzas and a three-line envoi (a coda or postscript). This centuries-old form might seem an odd choice for a modern woman who reflects, in part, on her reduced opportunities to listen to public radio and be a PTA mother. Why might Garrison have written a sestina instead of, say, a sonnet or haiku? How do the lives of working mothers resemble sestinas? For example, do mothers do tasks that may vary in order from one day to the next?
7) Garrison uses other traditional forms, such as the sonnet. But she doesn't follow the familiar rhyme scheme the Shakespearean sonnet, abab cdcd efef gg. The end-words don't start to rhyme until Lines 7 and 8 in "Unbidden Sonnet With Evergreen" and until Line 11 in "Song After Everyone's Asleep." What might explain this? Do the changes in rhyme relate to shifts in the tone or ideas of the poem?
8) You could argue that the most Shakespearean poem in The Second Child is the first, "On New Terms," which uses the blank verse (unrhymed iambic pentameter) that Shakespeare often used. In this poem some words or syllables rhyme in unexpected places ("most/ghost"). How do the forms of these sonnets add to or detract from their effects? Could Garrison be using these forms to express something about the role of women caught between traditional and new roles? [If you see an emoticon instead of the number 8 in front of this question, it is accidental.]
9) Although often meditative, the poems in this book can also be jaunty. The Cole Porter-ish "Goodbye, New York" sounds like a Broadway show tune: "You were the pickles, you were the jar/ you were the prize fight we watched in a bar." It sounds that way partly because Garrison uses the bouncy anapestic meter (two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed) instead of the iambic (one unstressed followed by one stressed) of "On New Terms." Anapestic is one of the most popular meters in children's poems. You can almost hear an echo of "A Visit From St. Nicholas" in lines like: "my skyline, my byline, my buzzer and door/ now you're the dream we lived before." Have you read any children's poems that use anapestic meter? (Hint: This was Dr. Seuss's favorite.) Do you see other places where Garrison uses meter to achieve an effect?
10) If you've read A Working Girl Can't Win, how does The Second Child resemble or differ from that one in tone and content? How is Garrison evolving as a poet?

If you're reading this, the world hasn't ended…yet. The Mayans didn't say what time the end would come, or in what time zone, but let's assume we have at least a few more hours. If the world does explode today, I want to say farewell with a Fuck You medley.
Fuck you, gun nuts. Fuck you and your arguments about how owning assault weapons protects us from tyranny. The United States has the biggest arsenal on the planet. If the government wanted to subdue the masses, do you honestly think a semi-automatic rifle would help you? You could have a Howitzer in your front yard and it wouldn't matter. And you morons truly believe that arming everyone would prevent horrific shootings like the one in Newtown?? Rot in hell, you twisted, deranged scumbags.
Fuck you, cottage cheese. I despise you. I truly do. If I were stranded somewhere and you were the only thing available to eat, I'd starve to death. You're disgusting. You have icky curds and a funky aroma, and I still have PTSD from the one time I tried you. People say you're a good, healthy snack. I disagree. You're nasty, and I hope you become someone's prison bitch.
Fuck you, cancer. You miserable fucking mutants. You've killed millions of people. You've tried to take out members of my family. What is your fucking problem? As long as I'm alive, I vow to fight you. I will make sure everyone I know is vigilant about keeping you away and getting rid of you as fast as possible. Drop dead.
Fuck you, Tom Cruise. I hate you. You're a shitty actor and you're insane. And your voice annoys the shit out of me. By the way, you're about as suited to play Jack Reacher as I am. Fuck you. For the love of Xenu, go to the Scientology compound and stay there. Permanently. Do not speak or show yourself in public ever again. You suck.
Fuck you, CEOs. You're greedy, evil motherfuckers. You've destroyed so many lives with your callous disregard for your employees and your customers. You're soulless vultures who would sell your families for a few extra bucks. I want to be there when the Universe doles out your karmic retribution. I would mock you, laugh heartily, and eat popcorn while you suffered the slings and arrows of your outrageous fortune, as it were. Blow me.
Fuck you, man sitting behind me on the plane. You couldn't gently put your tray back up—no, you had to slam it into the back of my seat. Were you trying to give me whiplash or was that just a bonus? And then you grabbed my seat back to hoist yourself up every time you changed positions. Asswipe. I reclined my seat in hopes of pissing you off but you didn't seem to mind. That just pissed me off more. If I ever see you again, I will cut you into teeny tiny pieces.
Fuck you, dickwad standing behind me on line at the ATM. Do you always stand that close to people you don't know? What the fuck is wrong with you? You should have at least bought me a drink or asked for my name before you crawled up my ass. I have three words for you: Personal space, motherfucker.
(Also, I really will be blogging about my party with Darla, Calahan, and Joe—as soon as the dust settles from Armageddon.)

Daily Comet picks top stories of 2012
Hurricane Isaac made its second landfall at Port Fourchon in Lafourche Parish on Aug. 27 as a Category 1 storm and stalled over Houma for about seven hours. It damaged more than 59,000 homes statewide, and about 1,500 of those in Terrebonne alone, according to FEMA.
The future of Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center in Houma was looking grim as 2012 came to a close because of $14.3 million in state budget cuts. That's a big chunk of the charity hospital's annual $93.2 million budget. The budget ax could have meant job losses for 245 of the hospital's 840 employees — a quarter of the staff — and widespread elimination of services.
In December, however, state and LSU officials announced a deal in which Ochsner Health System and Terrebonne General Medical Center will commit $5.1 million to stave off the cuts. The Terrebonne and Lafourche parish governments kicked in more money, $2 million and $1 million respectively.
An oil platform owned by Houston-based Black Elk Energy exploded Nov. 16, killing three Filipino workers. The rig wasn't in operation, so no oil spill resulted.
The explosion brought renewed attention to Galliano-based Grand Isle Shipyard's treatment of Filipino workers, some of whom filed suit against the company before the explosion claiming civil-rights violations.
For the fifth year in a row, state officials slashed money to Louisiana's higher education system, forcing Nicholls State University to lay off 28 employees, eliminate 65 vacant jobs and cut back further on programs.
School officials announced in June that Nicholls needed to cut $4.4 million. That was the 10th cut the school has suffered since 2008, bringing the total loss of state money to $17 million — a loss of almost 50 percent.
Prospects for the future don't look any better — the state told Nicholls this month to chop as much as $460,000 from its budgets before June, and the state faces another billion-dollar deficit for the next school year.
Jamonta Miles, 15, of Thibodaux, was shot to death in January in Raceland, and his six teenage friends were charged with gang crimes.
Byron Thomas, 22, the man who police say pulled the trigger, acted in self-defense and wouldn't face prosecution, a parish grand jury determined.
The teens did not have guns, but they did have items, such as a padlock, that they brandished threateningly, Sheriff Craig Webre said. The gang charges against the teens were later dropped.
Miles' parents filed complaints with the state against the local District Attorney's and Sheriff's offices, but they have not heard back.
Voters ousted Administrator Crystal Chiasson in November by approving an amendment to the Parish Charter that requires the administrator be a Lafourche resident.
Chiasson lived in Assumption Parish.
The administrator is the parish's second-ranking executive and is appointed by the parish president.
Chiasson and other critics of the move said it was motivated by council member Jerry Jones' personal vendetta against Parish President Charlotte Randolph. Jones denies this.
Randoph is scheduled to pick a new administrator in January. That nomination is subject to Parish Council approval.
Gov. Bobby Jindal made education reform his top priority at the legislative session this spring. The state now has the largest private school voucher program in the country. Teachers' pay, tenure and job security are now tied to a new evaluation system, not seniority. School board members are now term-limited and have lost much of their power. Meanwhile, teachers are quietly trying to implement a brand new, tougher national curriculum.
Some of the changes aren't popular in schools, and some may be overturned by judges — Jindal's voucher program was ruled unconstitutional on Nov. 30 and is headed to the state Supreme Court.
But, even if some of the changes are erased, 2012 may well be the most eventful year for Louisiana education in decades.
A phone threat in Oct. 9 closed Thibodaux courts and some schools.
Donald Brooks, of Thibodaux, is accused of making the calls. He was scheduled to appear in court that day on allegations that he was behind on child-support payments.
He likely faced 20-25 days in jail for failure to make those payments. If convicted of terrorism and making false arson threats, he could serve up to 35 years.
Brooks' next court appearance is Feb. 5.
Fletcher Technical Community College's students and faculty got a new home this year with the completion of its 100,000-square-foot, $21 million campus on La. 311 in Schriever.
The largest in the Louisiana Technical Community College System, the new campus roughly doubles the school's teaching space. It houses classrooms, 10 computer labs, library, lounge and student learning center.
The new campus is already set to grow — school officials announced early this month that an $8 million petroleum center is set to open in 2014.
Parish officials cut the ribbon on Thibodaux's new library on Feb. 27.
The library, at 705 W. Fifth St., cost about $4 million, which includes the $2.3 million price of the former Daily Comet headquarters. The library had shared space with the National Park Service since the 1980s.

Young hitters put on display in this year's AFL
Two full decades of Arizona Fall League baseball are now in the books. And once again, in this anniversary season, the AFL showcased some of the best talent in the Minor Leagues.
While this year's edition didn't feature a Bryce Harper or Mike Trout, who along with Danny Hultzen formed the top three of MLB.com's AFL Top 25 a year ago, there were many players with tremendous futures ahead of them. Not surprisingly, most on this year's list are again hitters. Last year, it was a 21-4 breakdown, hitters to pitchers. This year, only two pitchers made the list with the new Draft rules meaning no first-rounders from the most recent Draft were sent to the Fall League.
The following list of 25 prospects was chosen not solely based on performance during the AFL, but with more of an eye toward upside. Performance was taken in to account, obviously, with some players definitely raising their stock with how they played this fall, so it doesn't fall right in line with MLB.com's Top 100 list. The list was made after several conversations with scouts who spent a considerable amount of time watching Fall League action.
1. Christian Yelich, OF, Marlins: The Marlins' No. 1 prospect hit .301/.343/.387 for Phoenix this fall and most called him the most pure hitter in the league.
2. Billy Hamilton, OF, Reds: There's no question about his game-changing speed at the top of the lineup. Scouts feel the Reds' top prospect will be just fine in his new defensive home in center. Yelich finishes one spot ahead only because he's more of a sure-fire bet to hit at the highest level.
3. Mike Zunino, C, Mariners: The 2012 first-round pick (No. 4 on the Mariners' Top 20) more than held his own during his pro debut and during the Fall League. There are those who think he'll be ready to contribute in Seattle in the very near future.
4. Hak-Ju Lee, SS, Rays: Lee continued to show the tools, especially his defense and his speed, that made him the Rays' top prospect. There is some concern about how much he'll hit, but he's ready to play shortstop in the big leagues right now.
5. Nick Castellanos, OF, Tigers: Castellanos continued to make the transition to the outfield this fall and showed glimpses with the bat that made the Tigers' No. 1 prospect the highest-rated prospect heading into the AFL.
6. Jonathan Singleton, 1B, Astros: One scout called him "a beast," even though his line in the AFL doesn't stand out. But most think the Astros' No. 1 prospect is going to hit for average and plenty of power.
7. Rymer Liriano, OF, Padres: Ranked No. 1 on the Padres' top 20, Liriano got high grades for his all-around tools, most notably his speed, power potential and arm from right field.
8. Anthony Rendon, 3B, Nationals: Washington's No. 1 prospect, Rendon was making up for lost time due to injury this fall and finished 11th in both batting average (.338) and OPS (.930) while showing excellent defensive skills at third.
9. Kolten Wong, 2B, Cardinals: No. 4 on the Cardinals' Top 20, Wong is often described as a "he is who he is" type. What he is is a legitimate hitter almost ready for the big leagues.
10. Nick Franklin, 2B, Mariners: It was his second straight AFL as he continued to work on his second base play. The M's No. 3 prospect was 10th in average (.338) and ninth in OPS (.942).
11. Brian Goodwin, OF, Nationals: As toolsy as they come, the Nationals' No. 3 prospect impressed with his combination of speed and power potential.
12. Carlos Sanchez, 2B, White Sox: The more scouts saw of the White Sox' No. 7 prospect, the more they liked his ability to play up the middle defense and his speed as a potential top-of-the-order type.
13. Matt Davidson, 3B, Diamondbacks: He only appeared in 11 games, but the power potential showed up enough for scouts to like the future of the No. 4 prospect on the Diamondbacks' Top 20.
14. Javier Baez, SS, Cubs: A thumb injury cut the Cubs' top prospect time in the AFL short and he needs to refine his approach, but the teenager's raw tools really jumped out to AFL attendees.
15. Didi Gregorius, SS, Reds: The Curacao native, No. 5 on the Reds' Top 20, opened eyes with his athleticism, his defensive ability at a premium position while holding his own with the bat.
16. George Springer, OF, Astros: There's still some swing and miss to the game of the Astros' No. 3 prospect, but the power-speed combination was hard to ignore again this fall.
17. Kaleb Cowart, 3B, Angels: Cowart did not perform all that well this fall, with fatigue following his first trip to full-season ball perhaps playing a part, but scouts still are bullish on the Angels' top prospect's upside.
18. Kyle Gibson, RHP, Twins: Back from Tommy John surgery, the No. 16 prospect showed he might be the surest bet to be in a big league rotation from the AFL crop of starters.
19. Chris Owings, SS, Diamondbacks: Owings wowed with his defense and while some were still concerned about his approach, the Diamondbacks' No. 5 prospect showed enough with the bat to convince many he'll be an everyday guy at short soon.
20. Slade Heathcott, OF, Yankees: The tools have always been there for the Yankees' No. 5 prospect, but health had been an issue. He was healthy, and able to show all of those tools, in the AFL.
Nos. 21-25
21. Jake Marisnick, OF, Marlins
22. Luis Sardinas, SS, Rangers
23. Joc Pederson, OF, Dodgers
24. Gary Brown, OF, Giants
25. James Paxton, LHP, Mariners

All credit for this information belongs to them. I copied it right from their website and I have removed the hyper-links. Please visit their site if you would like to read further.
For this installment, I have chosen Wellburtin XL Oral
If you have any questions about what is provided here....talk with your doctor or pharmacist please.
Bupropion is an antidepressant used for smoking cessation and to treat a variety of conditions, including depression and other mental/mood disorders. Antidepressants can help prevent suicidal thoughts/attempts and provide other important benefits. However, a small number of people (especially people younger than 25) who take antidepressants for any condition may experience new or worsening depression, other mental/mood symptoms, or suicidal thoughts/attempts. Therefore, it is very important to talk with the doctor about the risks and benefits of antidepressant medication, even if treatment is not for a mental/mood condition.
Tell the doctor immediately if you notice new or worsening depression/other psychiatric conditions, unusual behavior changes (including possible suicidal thoughts/attempts), or other mental/mood changes (including new/worsening anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, irritability, hostile/angry feelings, impulsive actions, severe restlessness, very rapid speech). Be especially watchful for these symptoms when a new antidepressant is started or when the dose is changed.
If you are using bupropion to quit smoking and experience any of these symptoms, stop taking it and contact your doctor right away. Also, tell your doctor right away if you have any of these symptoms after stopping treatment with bupropion
This medication is used to treat depression. It may also be used to prevent seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression that occurs each year at the same time (for example, during winter). This medication can improve your mood and feelings of well-being. It may work by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (dopamine, norepinephrine) in the brain.
This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.
This medication may also be used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or to help people quit smoking by decreasing cravings and nicotine withdrawal effects. It may also be used along with other mood stabilizers to treat bipolar disorder (depressive phase).
How to use Wellbutrin XL oral
Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using bupropion and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily in the morning. If you have stomach upset, you may take this medication with or after a meal or snack. Taking this medication late in the day may cause trouble sleeping (insomnia). Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day.
Do not crush or chew extended-release tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Also, do not split the tablets unless they have a score line and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, liver function, and response to treatment. To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may direct you to start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase.
Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased.
It may take 4 weeks or longer before you get the full benefit of this drug. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
See also Warning section.
Dry mouth, sore throat, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, headache, decreased appetite, weight loss, constipation, trouble sleeping, increased sweating, or shaking (tremor) may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
An empty tablet shell may appear in your stool. This effect is harmless because your body has already absorbed the medication.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: fast/pounding/irregular heartbeat, mental/mood changes (such as anxiety, agitation, confusion, unusual behavior/thinking, memory loss), unusual weight loss or gain.
Stop taking bupropion and get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: seizure.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), painful sores in the mouth/around the eyes, severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

Sports update: 'Slow play' rule withdrawn by NCAA committee
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Round one of the pace-of-play debate goes to the proponents of fast football.
The NCAA football rules committee tabled a proposal Wednesday that would have penalized offenses for snapping the ball before 10 seconds had run off the 40-second play clock.
After a conference call, the committee decided not to send the so-called 10-second rule to the playing rules oversight panel for approval Thursday.
"What the committee agreed to do was table that proposal to allow time to gather more information from the medical community and allow time for a broader discussion for the implications of that change," NCAA national coordinator of officials Rogers Redding told the AP.
Redding said the NCAA received 324 comments during the feedback period after the proposal passed and 75 percent opposed the change; 16 percent supported the proposal. The rest were uncertain.
Redding also said a new proposal was passed by the committee to expand roughing the passer to include "forcible" hits to the knees or below.
The 10-second proposal, touted as a move to protect players by slowing down the fast-break offenses so prevalent now in college football, infuriated many coaches. Auburn's Gus Malzahn, Arizona's Rich Rodriguez and Texas Tech's Kliff Kingsbury were among the critics who said there was no proof that up-tempo offenses increased the risk of injuries.
Rodriguez and Arizona went to so far as to make a video spoof of the movie "Speed" to get the point across.
"I don't know where it goes from here, but I appreciate the rules committee realizing it was a mistake to put it out there right now," Rodriguez said Wednesday in a telephone interview.
Had the rule been approved it would have gone into effect next season. The penalty for snapping the ball too fast would have been 5 yards.
Arkansas coach Bret Bielema and Alabama's Nick Saban were not on the rules committee but did push for changes to control the ever-quickening pace of play. Both run slower-paced, pro-style offenses. The proposal was passed by the rules committee on Feb. 12.
What followed was three weeks of heated debate among college football fans and coaches about the evolution of football.
The proposal caught many coaches by surprise because this is non-change year for NCAA rules. But exceptions could be made for rules related to player safety. Supporters — such as Saban — said they were concerned about the increasing number of plays in games and that fatigued defensive players could not be taken off the field when offenses were rushing to the line of scrimmage after the ball was spotted by officials.
"I didn't offer any solutions to the problems," Saban said Wednesday before the proposal was tabled. "I just not only gave my opinion, but presented a lot statistical data that would support the fact that pace of play is creating a lot longer games and a lot more plays in games."

Feet suddenly acquired a mind of their own, they wouldn't stop dancing to the live sounds of Lipa singing sets from his latest CD, 24/6 Lipa. Lipa chose Pomegranate Supermarket to launch this CD at a free concert. Why? Because this was the best place to reach the Brooklyn oilom on short notice. The supermarket's clientele flocks to it because it is interested in its unique offerings and that is precisely the demographics that Lipa wants to reach.
It was hard not to feel the emotions, it was hard not to sing along, it was hard no to dance, it was hard not to follow the crowd. The audience was electrified and, as if obeying a higher command, really got into the spirit of the music. With the exception of three techno sets, Lipa sang the rest of the songs on this new CD. Like most of the audience I too was captivated and got into the frenzy.
If you are among the counted few who do not know Lipa, suffice it to say that he's produced 10 very successful CDs, so far; he's been in thousands of shows, he's worked with the greatest entertainment legends in the world of Jewish music and he's traveled around the globe being mesame'ach countless Jewish hearts.
I actually got to talk to him after the show and found him unassuming, humble and grateful to his audience. He hasn't allowed his fame to go his head, that is precisely the main reason (besides his tremendous showmanship!) that makes him so popular.

Police: Paul Simon made 911 call that led to arrests
NORWALK, Conn. | Paul Simon made the 911 call that led to the arrests last week of him and his wife, singer Edie Brickell, on disorderly conduct charges, according to a police report.
The police report indicates that Brickell, 48, and Simon, 72, became physical with each other Saturday during an argument inside a cottage on their New Canaan property that houses a recording studio.
Brickell told officers she confronted her husband after he did something to "break her heart," according to police, but she did not provide any details. She told police he shoved her during the argument, and she slapped him.
The report indicates Simon called 911 and then hung up, prompting the police response.
Simon suffered a superficial cut to his ear, and Brickell, who smelled of alcohol, had a bruise on her wrist, according to the police report, first obtained by the Hour of Norwalk on Tuesday.
Message seeking comment were left Thursday with attorney Allan Cramer, who is representing the couple in the case.
Brickell told police the two had other physical confrontations and asked an officer to feel a lump on her head. But she would not let police photograph her injuries and declined to elaborate on the other confrontations.
The couple were allowed to remain on the property, but Simon agreed to spend the night in a second home in Manhattan, police said.
Both said in court Monday they did not consider the other a threat, and no protective order was issued. They are due back in court on May 16.
"Both of us are fine together," Simon told Superior Court Judge William Wenzel. "We had an argument and it's atypical of us and neither one of us has any fear or any reason to feel threatened."
"He's no threat to me at all," Brickell added.
A duet by the pair "Like To Get To Know You" was posted on Brickell's website on Wednesday.
The lyrics are about a couple having problems but ends with the hopeful line, "I'd like to get to know you, again."
Simon and Brickell were married in 1992. They have three children together.
Simon burst onto the national stage with his former partner Art Garfunkel in the 1960s, adding a gentle voice to the growing chorus of opposition to the Vietnam War. Brickell, meanwhile, gained fame for her songs that blend rock, folk, blues and jazz.
Simon is a 12-time Grammy winner and member of The Songwriters Hall of Fame and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - as half of the duo of Simon and Garfunkel and as a solo artist. Last month, he wrapped up a national tour with Sting. He will be honored Wednesday by the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development and perform at the Beacon Theater as part of the ceremony.
Brickell collaborated last year with Steve Martin for the album "Love Has Come For You." The pair won a Grammy for best American Roots song in January. The two are touring and are due to perform next on May 9.

Despite the veritable cornucopia of vegan foods available, many vegans find themselves rendering vegan many recipes from their pasts, things that we could refer to as comfort foods. Sometimes it's a fairly easy exercise – swapping meat with a fancy rendering of tofu or seitan or tempeh – but sometimes veganizing something proves to be a wee bit more difficult, or at least, requiring a bit more imagination…
I happened upon The Daring Bakers, a fab group of blogging, whisk-wielding chefs, and realized right away that they were to offer me the challenge I was seeking : by accepting their monthly challenges, I would be forced to sharpen my vegan-baking skills, and would in the process learn how to better substitute all the things I avoid.
As you can see from the photo, the flax did change the color of the supposed-to-be- pristine-white party cake, and yes, it was more moist & dense than light & fluffy, but we devoured it! I also obviously had to tinker with the buttercream frosting recipe as it called for eggs and butter, and I only iced the top layer of the cake because it just would have been too much for us (I also added some yellow color for a bit more festivity since we used this cake for my super-cute visiting mom's birthday cake). The lemon flavour worked so well with the raspberry preserves and the flaked coconut, and we all had seconds (and thirds…).
I almost backed out of my first challenge because I was concerned about deviating too much from the original recipe, but I am so glad I sucked it up and dove in. It was also extra fun because my mom and I baked this up (while my usual baking partner, the Guppy, took her nap). Don't get me wrong, I love baking with my little Guppy, but I think it was the first time I ever did a baking project with my mom!
I'd like to say thanks to this month's challenge host Morven for taking the time to choose this wonderfully challenging recipe which gave us room to groove and move in our own individual ways!

Prince Harry to visit US, skipping Vegas this time
In this Sunday March 11, 2012 file photo Britain's Prince Harry gives a thumbs up during the award ceremony after playing a charity polo match in Campinas, Brazil. St. James's Palace say Monday March 25, 2013, Prince Harry is returning to the United States ? but this time he's skipping Las Vegas. AP PHOTO
Britain's Prince Harry is returning to the United States - but this time he's skipping Las Vegas.
The 28-year-old prince will travel to the U.S. east coast as well as Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado, to support veterans' charities and get in a bit of polo.
Harry, a longtime supporter of charities that rehabilitate war veterans, will attend several events at the 2013 Warrior Games, a competition in which veteran athletes from both Britain and the United States take part.
"Prince Harry wants to highlight once again the extraordinary commitment and sacrifice of our injured servicemen and women," said Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Harry's private secretary.
Harry recently spent 20 weeks in Afghanistan as co-pilot gunner on an Apache attack helicopter.
His May 9-15 visit will include trips to Arlington National Cemetery, Walter Reed National Medical Center and an exhibition on Capitol Hill about land mine clearance, a favorite subject of his late mother, Princess Diana. He will also visit areas in New Jersey hard hit by Hurricane Sandy.
Harry will also play in the Sentebale Polo Cup in Greenwich, Connecticut. Sentebale - which means "forget-me-not" - is a charity founded by Harry and Lesotho's Prince Seeiso that helps children struggling with poverty in the tiny southern African country.
On his last U.S. visit, the third-in-line to the British throne stormed into the headlines last year when he was caught frolicking in the nude with a woman after an alleged game of strip billiards in his Las Vegas hotel room.

(ARA) - Home remodeling is an investment in the value and enjoyment of your home. Whatever area of the house you plan to remodel, the home remodeling contractor you choose must be qualified for the job.
So how do you choose a contractor that's right for you? First, don't just automatically choose the company with the lowest bid. You'll need to evaluate more than one aspect of the project before you make your final decision on who will coordinate and oversee the work.
Even if you're only doing a small project, taking the time to communicate, investigate and substantiate all areas of your remodel with each potential contractor will help you make the right decision.
It's a good idea to get at least three quotes on any home remodeling project. There are a number of resources and ways for you to be able to find contractors for quotes. Sometimes recommendations from family and friends can work out great ... sometimes not. Beware of letting your friend's wife's brother-in-law who's just getting started do the job.
Once you choose three people to give you a quote make sure you describe in depth exactly what you want accomplished. Assuming someone understands what you envision can be a big mistake. Get specific, ask questions and have everything in writing.
Home Remodeling Contractor
Make sure you feel comfortable talking and discussing possible problems and issues with your contractor. As your project goes on changes and decisions will need to be made. You don't want stressful conversations or aggravations during the remodeling.
Don't hesitate to ask for a materials list to ensure you're getting the quality of materials you want. You also want to make sure you get what's on the initial list and not a cheaper substitution.
When meeting with contractors, always ask for references and contact those references. It's also a good idea to do some investigating yourself. Find out how long the home remodeling contractor has been in business and check with the Better Business Bureau for complaints.
Once you've interviewed and received quotes from every home remodeling contractor you've contacted, it's time to begin to compare. Compare prices, quality of materials, time for completion and your overall impression of each one.

Free fishing weekend almost here
By MARK SPENCLEY
CHEBOYGAN – Free fishing weekend arrives Saturday, allowing novice anglers two days to try out the sport without being required to buy a license.
A recent streak of cold weather should have ice on area lakes in good shape for ice fishing action, but that doesn't mean first time anglers should head out onto any random lake with reckless abandon. In fact, first time anglers have a lot to brush up on before Saturday.
The first and most important thing for burgeoning anglers to be aware of is safety.
"We don't put out anything on how many inches of ice is enough," said Department of Natural Resources Sgt. Greg Drogowski. "When it comes to ice, you always have to be overly cautious, even when there seems like there's plenty of ice."
Safety begins and ends with ice conditions, which can vary greatly depending on the body of water. Though ice conditions are good right now, there are portions of lakes that are wildly inconsistent.
Drogowski and his DNR counterparts have a list of areas anglers should avoid when heading out onto the lake.
River mouths, springs, and high current areas are places where the ice is typically thin or unpredictable, according to Drogowski.
Areas of heavy current are dangerous, plain and simple. Adding to their element of peril is the fact that high current areas can be difficult to discern. The mouths of rivers are fairly obvious, even when the ice is on, but springs are virtually impossible to spot. Springs, or bad ice period, have one visible flaw.
Drogowski suggests looking closely at the coloration of the ice. As ice deteriorates it take on a darker appearance. Any areas of dark or different colored ice should be avoided.
"Ice conditions vary so much from lake to lake, even on a single lake, especially the big ones," said Drogowski. "Springs and currents really have an affect on ice thickness. People go through every year and sometimes its fatal. Those are tragedies."
Now, with an idea of where not to go, it's time to make a list of necessary gear to get started ice fishing. The very basics are all that is necessary for a first-time fishing trip.
• Spud or hand auger to punch a hole in the ice
• Slush scoop
• Tips-ups and jigging rods
• Treble hooks, fishing line, and sinkers
• Minnow bucket and minnow net
• A chair or bucket

Oh I hope I didn't offend anyone with my "pregnant" comment! That really is what I looked like at 5 months, I took forever to show!ReplyDelete
Magoo: I usually cut one sleeve, then fold the shirt in half with shoulder seams matched up, and then use the first sleeve as a guide to cut the other one. Hope that makes sense!

I love your tutorials! I've seen some that I love but don't think I could ever do it myself. Yours are so well done, with great pictures, that I really think I might be able to tackle it myself.ReplyDelete
I love the shirt, and you don't look pregnant.

Love it! and btw...I WISH I looked like that at 5 months preggo!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 15, 2010 at 12:00 PM
Oh honey... if you think you look pregnant in that pic (You don't), then I would hate to think what everyone thinks I look like! More like 47 months pregnant..ReplyDelete
Cute shirt though
Kendra: Nope, I didn't hem the ruffles, since they're a knit material they won't fray.ReplyDelete
give me a break girl! there is no way anyone would think there was a baby in that tiny little body of yours!ReplyDelete
any way, I love your ruffles... and stuff! lol.
Disney I just found your blog and i am in LOVE with it! seriously it is amazing. I can't believe how creative you are. I just think what is she going to come up with next. I will be copying these ideas!ReplyDelete
You took a basic shirt and made it designer adorable! You also look adorable in it!ReplyDelete
You do NOT look pregnant.ReplyDelete
I love this, super cute!
Too Funny-You don't look pregnant at all, I know the feeling-those darn shirts or sometimes dresses that gather or sit in the wrong spot or the wrong way.ReplyDelete
Darling shirt- just love it...Too Cute..
Inspiring as Always......
You don't look pregnant and that is adorable! Coral is my favorite color.ReplyDelete
Very cute and so clever!!ReplyDelete
Darling shirt Disney. I really need to pick up some cheapo shirts and vamp them up a bit. I'm so tired of the dull factor being so high in my wardrobe. Blah! And for the record, you don't look prego and I'm glad you take some crappy pictures, I was starting to think you were too near perfection for the likes of me! ;)ReplyDelete
This is so fun! And you look super cute in it. I see no pudge. Seriously.ReplyDelete
Another great tutorial...Thanks! TheresaReplyDelete
Haha! You're so funny. I have (a lot) of days like that too. But I couldn't see any bump, pudge, or hints of a baby. Silly. I looked twice... still not there. Haha.ReplyDelete
I love the shirt. Totally making it. I love that you used the sleeves because I've been thinking about refashioning shirts I have already, but didn't know what to do about matching color/material.
So adorable. I can't wait till I go home to my sewing machine for the summer so I can finally make all these wonderful projects. Thanks for your tutorials. \(^.^)/ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
That is cute and a great idea. I'm saving this tutorial for later use. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Oh quiddit, you're as poised and beautimous as every day!ReplyDelete
Hi Disney, I found your blog two days ago and am completly adicited and have told every crafty lady i know! you are awesome!ReplyDelete
I totally have almost the same on sale target shirt (in purple), Its all cut up now, ruffles in place, and i am adding buttons! See even if you think its not an important post it is to someone!! thank you!!
Love it, Love the button tip, never seen it done that way before. If I looked as pregnate as you on a bad day I would be so very happy! Im off to ruffel a top. Yay.ReplyDelete
Adorable remake!! Not looking pregnant to me!! You are sweet and cute!ReplyDelete
you're right, there are a lot of ruffle shirts out there - but I love yours - especially with your little detail of making the ruffles from the sleeves - such a great way to make sure it all matches exactly without having to buy two shirts, which doesn't usually end up saving money.ReplyDelete
Your my sewing hero...just sayin'!!ReplyDelete
I love love love how the shirt turned out! So adorable! You so do NOT look pregnant! My sister and I do this all the time..."do I look pregnant is this?" he he I just love your blog!ReplyDelete
Stop by and say hi.
Wow! I needed so many aspects of that tutorial! Thanks!!!ReplyDelete
Lovely shirt!! I linked to your tutorial on Craft Gossip Sewing:ReplyDelete
Umm, if you look 5 months pregnant I must look about 7. Your pictures are always gorgeous and so are you!ReplyDelete
DIsney, it is a beautiful shirt and have a good color on you.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the inspiration.
Another wonderful tutorial Disney - love it!ReplyDelete
Oh, Disney you are so funny! I love your ruffled shirt with buttons. Great idea!ReplyDelete

Such a cute shirt! My 16 year old daughter calls that a "food baby"!ReplyDelete
LOL...potluck does that to me every time! KimReplyDelete
I wish I looked like that when I was 5 months pregnant... but I don't... I'm like 4 times that.ReplyDelete
Cute shirt! :)
This was an awesome tutorial. I can't wait to make it. This is not a horrible picture of you. You look great.ReplyDelete
perfect! I've been trying to figure out what to do with my old green long sleeve, and this will be it!! thanks for the tutorial!ReplyDelete
I love this refashion! And the pictures are great - they look wonderful! Great job!ReplyDelete
Love this! I especially love that you sewed down the top of the ruffle to the tee so after washing it won't hang funny and I love the way you used tape on your buttons. So darn clever! And of course the tee is adorable and something I would totally wear...now just need the time to make it!ReplyDelete
How funny, I got the same Target shirt ($5!) and did this with it:ReplyDelete
Wow! What I great idea - I love it! I have really been trying to refashion my closet to save money this spring. I think I might try this! Thanks so much for sharing!ReplyDelete
Yep, joining the chorus...you don't look remotely pregnant in those photos. This is a cool idea and one I may copy soon to save a couple of stained shirts.ReplyDelete
lol Your husband buys you shirts?? Sorry, I'm just trying to figure out what my husband would bring home if he bought me a shirt...it probably wouldn't be anything that usable! :-D I love your blog, BTW...it brings happiness to my crafty heart.ReplyDelete
I stumbled across your blog, saw this tutorial, and fell in love! That's the exact J. Crew shirt I was going to buy last year on final sale until they ran out of my size :( Oh well, I saved a bunch of $$ doing it myself. I got my shirt at Goodwill yesterday, and finished it up tonight. Keep the ruffled shirts coming!ReplyDelete
I would love to try this out to refashion some of my older shirts... but I can't seem to figure out how to sew down the front of the shirt on a regular sewing machine. It seems that the base would get in the way. Any tips? Thanks!ReplyDelete
I love this t-shirt redo, it is fabulous!ReplyDelete
another wonderful refashion and tutorial. thank you so much! :) i posted a link on my blog to your tutorial here. http://frostedsquare.blogspot.com/2010/05/fancify-my-t-shirts.htmlReplyDelete
erin :)
i love what u've done to the shirt..it was too plain n now it becomes so interesting..!!! i'd try dat soon..thankss!!ReplyDelete
Love it! You wanna see a not-preg-belly? Mine! But I have had 3 kis so I don't mind, much. You're so flat girl! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 5, 2010 at 2:19 PM
Thanks so so much for this tutorial! It was so easy and pretty even though i skipped the buttons out of laziness :)ReplyDelete
I posted my shirt on my blog here: http://monpetitchoublog.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/fash-rehash-orange-ruffle-tee/
Brillant tutorial.ReplyDelete
I can't believe you went to all that trouble with the detail.
MASSIVE THANKS for it.

You are fat, not pregnant.ReplyDelete
Simius: haha! :o)ReplyDelete
So cute! Can you come make me one? I love it :)ReplyDelete
I just found your blog the other day and I am in love! I've already found several projects that I plan to do. I'm hoping to repurpose a ton of clothes for my kids for back-to-school, and I love all your ideas. Thanks for the tip about the buttons! I wouldn't have thought to tape them down and then use the zig zag stitch by hand. Brilliant!ReplyDelete
Um, you do NOT look pregnant. But I am 8 months postpartum and have loose skin that pudges out... I'm thinking the ruffles will be a perfect distraction :) I shall be making one of these for when I go back to work in October. THanks so much for the idea!ReplyDelete
You are incredibly WAY too hard on yourself. You think you look preggers in that photo? Omigosh, girl. That is the LAST thing I'd think when looking at the photo. You are tiny, and you look great in it. My gosh! :O) Aside from that, thanks for the great tutorial. I love the coral color too!ReplyDelete
~ www.billiemonster.com ~
love,love your creativity!!! I featured this project on my blog today and gave you lots of link love. I would love for you to stop by and check it out! dwellinthebliss.blogspot.comReplyDelete
Keep up the great work!
A) Thanks for the tutorial! Love the style!ReplyDelete
B) HUSH. You are beautiful and slender. Even after you pointed it out, I didn't notice a single indication of a pot belly. Don't be so hard on yourself!
- AnonymousFebruary 4, 2012 at 9:03 PM
Love the shirt, but I really hate it when skinny people bag on themselves about being fat, just fishing for compliments. You wanna know what fat is, I can come and sit on you.ReplyDelete
OK. Dear Anonymous commenters: please let me explain something to you...I have low self-esteem. Sometimes I feel fat when maybe I don't look fat to others. It's a body image problem that girls of all sizes struggle with. But I have never fished for compliments in that department, and it's really quite rude of you to imply that I was. Besides that, you'll notice that in the post I didn't complain about being fat, just that I looked a little pregnant, which I still think is true. I didn't want people to see the bump and get all excited.ReplyDelete
I'm not mad at you, I've just had a really hard day today, and your comment really discouraged me. Please think twice before spreading more negativity.
Thanks. :O)

If you have a serger you can do some beautiful finishes on the edge of the ruffles.ReplyDelete
Hi! I came across this tutorial on Pinterest and just finished posting my own ruffle refashion. You can check it out at:ReplyDelete
Thanks for the inpiration!
Annie @Love.Laugh.Live
hi disney! love the shirt! :DReplyDelete
could you please do a tutorial where you show us how to sew a button on using a sewing machine?
Now I know what to do with my long-sleeved coral tee at the end of winter (southern hemisphere). I can turn it into my favourite summer tee. Thanks for the tutorial - it's really cool!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 12, 2012 at 3:10 AM
Who told you that you looked pregnant??? You said "the worst photo ever taken of me" so thats what I was expecting but when I got to the end of the post I hadn't seen it yet so I had to go back and re-read it. And my conclusion is that you look GREAT...no, AWSOME...excuse me, FABULOUS, absolutely AWSOME!!!!ReplyDelete
I like that last picture, actually.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 4, 2013 at 6:45 PM
It's just that we women who actually have bodies to worry about get very, very tired of skinny girls like you complaining about looking "fat". If you understand about how powerful body image is, don't spread the negativity yourself by implying that anyone with your figure looks pregnant or fat - it makes the rest of us feel bad.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh friend, I never meant to make you feel bad, I am so sorry for that. I was very overweight during my adolescent years and teased brutally for it, so I do know that pain. There were times when I didn't even want to live. I suppose some of that feeling stays with you, even if you do drop the weight. I still think I look 5 months pregnant in the photo, though. That is very much what I looked like at five months. :O)Delete
- AnonymousMay 1, 2013 at 6:39 AM
i thought you were going to take the sleeve, cut up 1 inch, then from that cut go around the sleeve at an angle, all the way to the top, when you pull it out. you have a ruffle and a straight edge, like nancy zimman did on her program a week or so back. cool idea for a shirt though.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 1, 2013 at 9:32 AM
You have a BEAUTIFUL figure. Embrace it!!!! The shirt was amazing and you were the prefect model!ReplyDelete
- JeannieMarch 7, 2014 at 4:06 PM
Thank you Disney for your inspiring idea. I hope you dont mind if I add it to my pinterest board 'altering clothes'. You have also I see received some lovely comments, which are always nice to see.ReplyDelete
- JeannieMarch 7, 2014 at 4:11 PM
May I add that I have been slim and large and most people do not judge by the outward appearance and quite often we are our own critic..as I well know. Keep up the super work. XReplyDelete

20 Sweet Quick Bread Loaves
Peach of a Bread
Peaches add moistness to this quick bread.
Triple-Chocolate Bread
What goes best with chocolate? More chocolate. What goes best with our Triple-Chocolate Bread? Whipped cream, chocolate sauce and a glass of cold milk.
Almond-Cranberry Bread with White Chocolate Glaze
Sweet bread balances tangy cranberries in this winning recipe from the Wisconsin State Fair. Wrap and store it overnight to make it easier to slice.
Triple-Spiced Pear Bread
Oats, walnuts and nuggets of chopped pear give this loaf a toothsome heartiness, while buttermilk keeps it moist and tender.
Banana Bread
Cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger flavor this moist banana bread. Make banana bread when your bananas get brown polka dots on them.
Blueberry-Lemon Loaf
Make this loaf on a Sunday night so it's ready for a quick weekday morning meal.
Streusel Apple Bread
A touch of lemon, chopped cranberries and walnuts make this quick bread seem like coffee cake. Norma Hendricks of Hopedale, Illinois, likes to serve this for dessert. "I made this by combining a couple of recipes," Norma says. "I think I started with a cranberry bread, but most of my kids don't like cranberries. Then I saw an apple bread recipe, and I thought streusel would be good on top."
PB&J Banana Bread
Banana bread gets a school-lunch spin in this moist and sweet quick bread.
Honey-Zucchini Bread
Zucchini, raisins and walnuts pack nature's harvest into a sweet and crunchy quick bread.
Nutty Carrot Bread
A sweet-tart lemon glaze tops this quick bread, which won a blue ribbon at the Elkhart, Indiana, County Fair. Stir ingredients gently just until combined -- overbeating leads to airholes and tunnels in any quick bread.
Very Cherry Nut Bread
Maraschino cherries and almonds fill this quick bread loaf with color and flavor. It's a favorite from the National Cherry Festival cookbook.
Easy Banana Nut Bread
Make a couple of these easy nut-filled banana bread loaves; like most quick breads, they'll keep up to a month in your freezer. Overwrap in plastic wrap and place in a freezerproof bag. Thaw at room temp.
Lemon Thyme Tea Bread
The intense flavor of this tiny-leafed herb teams up with lemon peel for the lemony scent in this sweet quick bread moistened with cream cheese.
Another lemon option: Lemony Quick Bread, from Midwest herb specialist Rosemary Divock of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Any lemon-flavored herbs will work in her cakelike quick bread.
Pumpkin Bread
The innkeepers at Burchell's White Hill Farmhouse Inn in Minden, Nebraska, make this moist spiced bread using homegrown heirloom pumpkins, but this version of their recipe uses canned puree.
Maple Date Nut Bread
Chopped and pitted dates stand out beside the hint of maple syrup in this dark brown, nutty quick bread. This recipe is from Ruth Smiley of Smiley Brothers maple syrup producers in Indiana.
Pineapple Zucchini Bread
At Mooselips Java Joint in Seeley, Wisconsin, this bread is made with zucchini from the owner. Customers can buy individual loaves to eat like a muffin.
Cran-Banana Bread
Blend mashed bananas with a box of cranberry quick bread mix for this easy-to-make double-fruit treat.
Cherry and Golden Raisin Bread
Choose your favorite dried fruit to add to this lemon-glazed loaf.
Pumpkin-Banana Bread
Lisa Johnson of Gardner, Kansas, added banana to pumpkin bread for a new twist on quick bread treats. "This pumpkin bread is a favorite with our family," she says. "It's easy to make, and my two girls enjoy helping me. They especially enjoy when it's done baking. It makes the house smell wonderful."
Cranberry and pumpkin breads
Fresh cranberries, orange juice and chopped walnuts flavor Crazy-About-Cranberry Bread, while snipped dates and walnuts add chewiness to moist slices of Spicy Pumpkin Bread. Both recipes come from the Inn at Pinewood, near Eagle River, Wisconsin.
